Business owners across America know they need to be online, but many struggle with how to do it, which tools to use and measuring success. So Google and Deloitte undertook a project to better understand what is preventing small businesses from using digital tools.

In 2017, Deloitte conducted a nationally representative survey of over 2,000 small business decision makers in the US to develop the Connected Small Businesses report. In this livestream, be one of the first to learn about the additional analysis of the Connected Small Businesses report, that details the internal dividends from using digital tools, the perceived benefits of using digital tools, where small businesses were more or less likely to be using digital tools, and what barriers small businesses cite in not using digital tools more fully.

The web is helping small businesses grow. As the place where people turn to learn, discover, find, and buy things, it’s connecting customers to small businesses and small businesses to customers. Being online can have a big impact – in fact, businesses have revenue growth 4 times as high over the last year and were 3 times as likely to have created jobs in the last year.

At Google, we see the power of the web working for American small businesses every day. Millions of small businesses are found on Google Search and Maps every single day across the nation.

With a little bit of elbow grease and the help of technology, we believe every business can grow online. In this workshop, you’ll learn about how Google search works, how to create or claim your local business listing using Google My Business and about other free tools from Google that can help your business get found online.
